The thick base of the dorsal fin
leads us to suspect that the members of this group of three orcas
spotted by Gatheralls boat tours of Bay Bulls on June 10, 2005 and
photographed by guest Grant Abbott is new to this catalogue. The
three orcas stayed in the region harassing the area's many
humpbacks. Grant also photographed the humpback shown with bloody
flesh hanging off its tail in our
humpback section.

A similar looking orca was
spotted among a group of 10-12 orcas bothering right whales off Cape
Cod on August 23, 2005.
